Chapter87
“Looks like the surgery cleared your head this time,” Jarvis said, as mean as ever.
I smiled and said nothing. He packed up his things and put a chocolate on the table. “Eat it when your condition allows.”
I watched him, but he didn’t look back. He simply turned and left. As the door closed, I glanced at the chocolate.
It was the same one I had posted about on social media a few days ago.
That day was my birthday, and though I rarely indulged in chocolate as a child or an adult, I had a sudden craving.
I mentioned it to Antonio several times, but he brushed me off, thinking I was being childish and asking why I couldn’t just buy it myself.
Again, he hung up on me.
I searched everywhere but couldn’t find the filled chocolate I craved.
Feeling despondent, I posted on social media, saying I might never find my favorite chocolate again, with an old photo of it.
Antonio commented below, “Are you done?”
Long ago, Eloise sent me a picture of the chocolate, asking if it was the one I wanted. I was a bit confused but thrilled and told her it was.
She replied, “Antonio bought me this.”

I cried all night, hurt by Antonio’s words. Even now, about his words made me feel so hurt.

Seeing the chocolate again, I couldn’t help but smile.
I couldn’t enjoy it yet, but I snapped a picture and shared it online. To my surprise, Antonio was the first to like it.
He even commented, “Did some other guy buy you this?”
I ignored him. It was the first time in years that I chose not to respond to him.
Half an hour later, he started bombarding me with calls and
messages.

But my phone was on silent while I was undergoing tests. When I finished, Jarvis stopped me.
We talked about my condition.
Halfway through, Antonio stormed in and angrily pulled me away from Jarvis.
“What are you doing? You want a divorce just to run back to your first love?
“Have you no shame, flirting with him in our hospital?” Antonio hissed. Jarvis tried to speak, but I stopped him.
I pulled out the surveillance videos I had been collecting from the hospital.
I had planned to show them to the judge to prove our marriage was over. But here Antonio was, practically begging

for an insult.
So I played the videos.
The first one showed him and Eloise hugging in the operating room and kissing in a corner of the ward.”
Other videos were filmed during my previous hospital stays. While I was unconscious, they were flirting, even kissing by- my bedside.
If I hadn’t seen the footage with my own eyes, I would’ve never believed they could be so shameless. “So who has no shame now?” I asked.
I even looped some of the most disgusting clips. Antonio, furious, tried to take my phone.
I laughed. “Where did all that confidence go? I’m just showing everyone how ‘pure‘ your friendship with Eloise is.”
